Why Do I Need a Long Beach Big Rig Accident Lawyer?
Many accident survivors are reluctant to work with a truck accident attorney because they are concerned about how the cost of legal services might compound the financial strain brought on by their existing medical bills, property damage, and related expenses. Working with a Long Beach semi-truck accident lawyer doesn’t have to be out of your budget, though.
Morelli Law Firm and its team of legal professionals work on contingency. That means that you will not see a bill from our Long Beach personal injury lawyers unless we can hold a liable party accountable for your truck accident injuries. Our contingency fee agreements ensure that you can protect your financial future while benefiting from the advice of an experienced team.
When we alleviate your financial concerns, we help you to focus on the nitty-gritty of your case. Our impact ensures that you can conduct a comprehensive investigation into the behavior of trucking companies, insurance companies, and affiliates involved in your case.
You can also delegate responsibility for that investigation to an experienced attorney so you can focus on restoring your health.
Working With Insurance Companies to Address the Aftermath of a Truck Crash
Most truck drivers operating in New York have an obligation to either independently obtain insurance or file for protection within the trucking industry. This means you have the right to file a truck accident claim with a liable driver’s insurance provider after a semi-truck collision.
However, the insurance adjuster that assesses your case is never on your side. Insurance claims adjusters want to preserve their companies’ finances. As such, the settlement offer you initially receive from an insurance company may not adequately reflect the reality of your post-accident expenses.
You have a few options for moving forward. Working with an experienced big rig accident attorney in Long Beach allows you to renegotiate for the support you need to treat catastrophic injuries. Our attorneys can also file a separate personal injury claim against the truck driver liable for your losses.
Personal injury claims may allow you to recover damages that an insurance provider refuses to acknowledge. You can learn more about how our team integrates your request for fair compensation into these claims during a free case evaluation.

877-751-9800Typical Big Rig Accident Injuries
The average weight of a fully loaded semi is about 80,000 pounds. That’s 20 times heavier than a typical passenger vehicle. When these two vehicles collide, it’s definitely common for the occupants of the passenger vehicle to have severe or life-threatening injuries.
These injuries may include but are not limited to the following:
- Broken bones
- Deep cuts and lacerations
- Injuries to the brain and spinal cord
- Internal bleeding
- Internal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Organ damage
- Limb loss, amputation
Shock works wonders in the wake of a collision. Truck accident victims like you may not realize that you’re at risk for long-term health problems until weeks or months have passed. It’s with the uncertainty of your post-accident health in mind that our team encourages you to wait to accept a settlement offer from the negligent parties involved in your crash.
It is in your best interest to contact a medical professional who can address your injuries and integrate them into your existing medical records. Our team can then assess those records so we can better understand what losses you have the right to integrate into your request for support.
How Much Will I Win an Accident Involving a Big Rig in Long Beach?
While there’s no such thing as an average truck accident settlement, you can work with experienced lawyers to pre-determine what losses you have the right to request compensation for when filing a claim.
Our team can perform the calculations necessary to assign a dollar value to losses like the following:
- Emergency medical care, including ambulance fees
- Medical attention from specialists
- Long-term health care, including hospitalization and pain management medication
- Physical therapy and mental health therapy
- The restoration of damaged property
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages or an inability to return to work
Filing a Wrongful Death Claim After a Truck Accident
Unfortunately, some semi-truck accidents can prove fatal. If you lose a loved one to a truck driver’s roadway negligence, New York civil laws may allow you to take legal action on that person’s behalf. You can work with our wrongful death attorneys to file a claim demanding financial compensation for your loved one’s suffering.
We understand that money won’t bring your loved one back. However, support won from a truck accident lawsuit can help you pay your bills and compensate for lost income. The right legal advice can help you hold commercial truck drivers responsible for your financial recovery while you and your loved ones grieve together.
You can trust our experienced truck accident attorneys in Long Beach to respect your privacy while prioritizing your right to get justice for a loved one’s fatal accident. You can discuss the specifics of our available wrongful death services during a free case evaluation.

877-751-9800How Long Do I Have to File a Claim for a Big Rig Accident in Long Beach, NY?
If you want to hold a negligent truck driver or company responsible for your accident losses, your truck crash lawyer needs to file a claim on your behalf before your statute of limitations expires. CVP § 214 allows you to take up to three years to build a case going into detail about the tangible and intangible losses you sustained due to someone else’s loss of control.
It is difficult to hold an at-fault party accountable for the losses you sustained in a truck accident if you try to file your claim after your statute of limitations expires. With that in mind, we encourage you to book an initial consultation with our experienced attorneys within a few weeks of your crash.
The sooner Morelli Law Firm can begin investigating your big rig accident, the faster we can hold the right parties responsible for your recovery.
